Constance Aman: I lift up my eyes...

"Je lève les yeux"



Je lève les yeux vers les montagnes
D'où me viendra le secours

Le secours me vient de l'éternel
Qui a fait les cieux et la terre

Il ne dort ni ne sommeille
Celui qui garde Israël
Il ne dort ni ne sommeille
L'Eternel me gardera

Il ne dort ni ne sommeille
Il gardera mon pied de tout mal
Il ne dort ni ne sommeille
L'Eternel gardera mon âme

Psaume 121:1-4
